ISLAMABAD:
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has allowed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader and lawyer Latif Khosa to travel abroad, despite his name being on the Exit Control List (ECL).
Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kayani heard Khosa’s petition challenging the inclusion of his name in the ECL.
During the proceedings, the prosecutor informed the court that Khosa’s name had been added to the ECL due to a pending case against him.
The court asked why Khosa’s name was placed on the ECL and asked if there was any concern that he would flee the country and not return.
In his defence, Khosa informed the court that he has a scheduled flight to Canada on Friday.
The court ordered him to submit an affidavit in the trial to ensure that he committed to appear before the court when summoned.
Subsequently, the IHC allowed him to travel abroad.
A case related to holding a protest outside the Supreme Court was registered against Latif Khosa at the Secretariat Police Station.
